The Crimson Rocket smiles in your general direction.  Group: Members Posts: 2,927 Joined: 12-November 05 From: Tapmahamock, Va. Member No.: 5,107  |
The PO, which shall remain nameless, has removed all turn signal acutriments from my car. Now, I do have them parking Euro turn signal thingies which are directly wired to my head light switch, as per the 1971 USA schematic. Runing lights, brake lights and them freekydeeky parking marker lighhts are the only thing I have. the next step is to remove the head light switch from the dash. Now that you know it all and I stand naked before you, my question is, am I missing an apendage to remove and replace the head light switch or is it just a beehotch? I WILL disconect the battery as the Crimson Rocket has taught me from a cloud of burned wires but then once removed, how the hell will I get it back in the dash hole? This access design is unacceptable and am now in denial of this German blunder and kinda lost in a funny kinda way!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) help!

stop trying to look at what you are doing.
You can reach in there, and you can touch it, provided you sit the right way, use the right hand (right hand) and look out the side of the car. Sit on the ground. It does work. Be very very gentle, and dont let any of the wires become unplugged while you are yanking away.. Its pretty complex to get right if you unplug them all without making your own mental note, or drawing...everything in the lighting system goes through that switch. Also, note the orientation...the switch needs to be put back in facing the same way, or it wont fit, the wires wont reach, and you could short something out against the dash... Good luck Rich |
